ANOTHER ANXIETY EPISODE? I am here for you; I will help you with your daily struggles of anxiety symptoms. I know that you are tired of living in a state of panic, but you don't know how to change things or how to make the FEAR go away. Staying home in your SAFE ZONE rather than going out in public is your way to avoid these controlling symptoms of feeling like you are having a heart attack, fear of dying, feeling like you can't breathe, palms are sweaty, fear of being negatively judged, fear that people think that you are stupid, are fearful that you are going to do something "stupid looking," or fear that you are going crazy.

Are you feeling a bit stuck? Want change, but don’t know how to get there? Let's explore how better to communicate our wants and needs. Let's understand our coping mechanisms. Let's ask ourselves why we struggle to care for ourselves, the way we care for others. Let's look at our beliefs, coping styles and behaviors that repeat, even though they no longer serve us.

Therapy oftentimes begins with searching for relief of symptoms related to trauma, depression, anxiety or addiction, among many other stressors of life.

My role is to be a support and resource for those sorting through what is working and what may be getting in the way of living the life you truly want to live. If you are ready for relief and beyond I can help.

Are you tired of feeling stuck? It's easy to put off getting help; life keeps moving whether you're feeling good or not. But when you're in a bad place-- with behavior or emotional patterns (anxiety, depression, unhealthy habits, stress) or with relationships (loneliness, conflict, toxic interactions)-- then it costs you time, keeping you from engaging with life the way you want to. We'll work together to help you understand what's gotten you to where you are and, most important, how to create and enact a plan to change the problematic patterns and enhance the positive aspects of your life.

Life has its unique challenges, which can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, a sense of loneliness and other highly charged feelings and experiences. Are you in transition, a "transplant" to your area or maybe you have lived there all of your life? Are you having relationship problems? Going through a break-up, separation or divorce? Are you feeling "different" from others and/or experiencing difficulty in connecting with others? Maybe you are experiencing a crisis in your career, feeling mismatched/unfulfilled? Or are you feeling unhappy but can't figure out the source, the "why" you are feeling this way?

Please note I only provide tele-therapy services in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Florida, Delaware & W. Virginia. It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds. If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my Transpersonal , Jungian, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approach to be of benefit. The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity, or self, extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass greater meaning. This can include exploring non ordinary states of consciousness.
